15th August 1947 is indeed a golden day for our nation. 15th of August is celebrated as Independence Day of India to commemorate its independence from British rule and its birth as a sovereign nation in 1947. Independence Day is one of our National Festival. The flagship event in Independence Day celebrations takes place in Delhi, where our honourable Prime Minister hoists the National Flag at the Red Fort and delivers from its ramparts a speech. The holiday is observed throughout India with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. Indians celebrate the day by displaying the national flag on their attire, accessories, homes and vehicles; by listening to patriotic songs, watching patriotic movies; and bonding with family and friends. Books and films feature the independence and partition in their narrative. Separatist and militant organisations have often carried out terrorist attacks on and around 15 August, and others have declared strikes and used black flags to boycott the celebration.
